Where Does the Name "Chaîne d'Ancre" Come From? The Story of Its Creation

Shop Hermès Chaîne d’Ancre Products

Hermès's Chaîne d'Ancre first appeared in 1938 as a silver bracelet. It was designed by Robert Dumas, a member of the Hermès family at the time who was also known as a skilled jewelry craftsman. In 1937, a year before the Chaîne d'Ancre came into being, Robert Dumas visited a port town in Normandy. There, the sight of anchor chains linking ships together struck him, and he translated that shape into a piece of jewelry.

As you might know, Hermès got its start making luxury horse tack. Founded in 1837, the brand grew up alongside the carriage culture of the aristocracy, and that same craftsmanship and sense of style would later carry over into bags, watches, jewelry, and much more. Though it began life as a bracelet, the Chaîne d'Ancre design has since found its way into all kinds of items: rings, bags, leather goods, cashmere, and beyond.

Fittingly, it was created exactly 100 years after the brand's founding, making the Chaîne d'Ancre a true symbol of Hermès's evolution and its readiness to take on new challenges.

A Complete Guide to Chaîne d'Ancre Types by Item

When people think of the Chaîne d'Ancre, most picture a bracelet—but today it's available in a much wider range of items. With so many options to choose from, it's easy to feel unsure about which one is right for you.

Below, we break down the Chaîne d'Ancre's features and appeal across three categories: bracelets, necklaces, and rings. If you're hoping to find the piece that's just right for you, we hope this guide helps.

1. Chaîne d'Ancre Bracelet TGM

Shop the Hermès Chaîne d'Ancre Bracelet TGM (10 Links) in SV925

Estimated Price: $2,100 USD

The Chaîne d'Ancre TGM is the largest size in the bracelet lineup. The bracelet comes in five sizes overall: TGM, GM, MM, PM, and TPM (PPM). Of these, the TGM makes an especially strong statement and works well in both men's and women's styling. Its oversized links bring together a sense of strength and luxury, and adding just one to a simple outfit can completely transform the look.

Each link measures roughly 2.4 cm, with 9 to 13 links in total, making it suited to wrist sizes of about 14 to 19.5 cm. With its substantial feel and bold presence, it fits naturally into everything from simple, everyday outfits to more distinctive style choices. If you want a piece with genuine presence, or you simply love a bold accessory, the TGM is worth considering.

2. Chaîne d'Ancre Bracelet GM

Shop the Hermès Chaîne d'Ancre Bracelet GM (10 Links) in SV925

Estimated Price: $1,900 USD

One size down from the TGM, the Chaîne d'Ancre GM strikes a nice balance between substantial presence and everyday ease. Its links measure about 2.1 cm—a touch more restrained than the TGM, but still eye-catching. With roughly 10 to 17 links, it suits wrist sizes of about 15 to 19 cm. Like the TGM, its larger link size has made the GM especially popular with men. For men, a 13-link GM tends to work well; if you prefer a closer fit, 12 links is the way to go.

Because it doesn't make quite as bold a statement as the TGM, the GM blends easily into polished, simple, or even formal looks. The gleam of the silver adds a refined touch to the wrist, quietly pulling an outfit together the moment you put it on. Its unisex design also makes it a favorite for couples looking to coordinate with matching pieces in different sizes. If you want something that offers both presence and elegance, the Chaîne d'Ancre GM is a great option to consider.

3. Chaîne d'Ancre Bracelet MM

Shop the Hermès Chaîne d'Ancre Bracelet MM (15 Links) in SV925

Estimated Price: $2,100 USD

More compact than the TGM or GM, the Chaîne d'Ancre MM still delivers the kind of presence the line is known for. Each link measures about 1.5 cm, with 13 to 19 links per bracelet, making it a comfortable choice for both men and women. It suits wrist sizes of roughly 13 to 19 cm.

The MM strikes a nice balance of everyday lightness and eye-catching volume, making it a great starting point if you're buying your first silver accessory. It's a bit more understated than the GM, but still substantial enough to make a subtle statement on the wrist, and it moves easily between casual and formal styling. If this is your first Hermès bracelet, or you simply want to wear the Chaîne d'Ancre every day, the MM is worth trying.

4. Chaîne d'Ancre Bracelet PM

Shop the Hermès Chaîne d'Ancre Bracelet PM (15 Links) in SV925

Estimated Price: $2,030 USD

The Chaîne d'Ancre PM has a slender, delicate look, giving it a particularly elegant feel within the line. Each link measures about 1.4 cm, and despite its compact scale, it still carries all the refinement Hermès is known for. With 14 to 22 links, it fits comfortably on wrists ranging from about 12 to 18 cm. Since it offers more link-count options than the other sizes, it's easy to adjust to your wrist and your outfit. Wear it with fewer links for a sleek, clean look, or a bit looser for a more relaxed feel—the styling is really up to you.

It moves easily from casual outfits to more polished looks, like jackets or dresses, making it versatile enough for just about any occasion. The PM is a great fit if you want to wear the Chaîne d'Ancre daily, or if you're after a look that's feminine and luxurious at the same time.

5. Chaîne d'Ancre Bracelet TPM

Shop the Hermès Chaîne d'Ancre Bracelet TPM (22 Links) in 18K Pink Gold

Estimated Price: $2,420 USD

The Chaîne d'Ancre TPM is the smallest bracelet in the lineup, with each link measuring just about 0.9 cm—a great fit for women with slimmer wrists. The TPM was discontinued for a while, but it made its comeback on the online store in June 2025 and has been drawing renewed attention ever since. Interest has been growing internationally, though it's still hard to find in physical stores, which makes it tough to see one in person right now.

It's offered with 22, 24, 26, or 28 links so that you can pick based on your wrist size and personal taste. If you like a snug fit, go with fewer links; if you prefer it looser, a longer option will suit you better. Thanks to its small scale, it also layers nicely with a watch or bangles, not just on its own. If you love minimal design, or want a piece that pairs well with other accessories, the TPM is worth a look.

6. Chaîne d'Ancre Farandole Necklace 160 in SV925

Shop Hermès Chaîne d’Ancre Necklaces

Estimated Price: $2,210 USD

The Chaîne d'Ancre Farandole is one of the most popular long necklaces in Hermès's jewelry line. "Farandole" is the French word for a folk dance performed in a circle, and the necklace's chain of linked motifs calls to mind people holding hands as they dance. Combining fashion sense with elegance, it's a design that brings a sense of luxury to any look.

This model measures about 160 cm and is made from rust-resistant sterling silver (SV925). Worn as a single loop, it gives a clean, streamlined look; wrap it twice, and it becomes fuller and more glamorous. Layer it several times over, and it can even double as a bracelet—adding to its versatility as a piece you can style in different ways. The Farandole pairs beautifully with simple pieces like shirts or turtlenecks, making it just as suited to everyday wear as it is to special occasions.

7. Chaîne d'Ancre Contour Necklace GM With Diamonds

Shop Hermès Necklaces

Estimated Price: $14,270 USD

The Chaîne d'Ancre Contour GM Diamond is a necklace with an especially luxurious presence, even by Hermès's standards. "Contour" is French for "outline" or "edge," and true to its name, the piece is defined by diamonds set along the edge of each link—a genuinely glamorous design. By bringing diamond sparkle to the classic Chaîne d'Ancre, the design takes on an even more polished, refined air.

Simple as it looks at first glance, the oval links that define the Chaîne d'Ancre still serve as the piece's signature accent. As you move, the link piece at the chain's end sways gently, lending it a light, airy feel alongside its understated presence. The gold tone flatters the skin, making it easy to wear with knits, shirts, dresses—pretty much anything.

At over $12,350 USD, the estimated price is steep, but Hermès uses only carefully selected, high-quality diamonds. There's no compromise on sparkle or cut, so even at a modest size, the piece still holds substantial presence. If you're after a necklace that's understated yet glamorous, the Chaîne d'Ancre Contour is worth a look.

At the center, a small oval link and T-bar add a bit of sparkle and accent to the neckline. Since it's not too loud for a silver piece, it moves easily between casual and dressed-up looks. The chain measures 40.5 cm, making it a good pick if you find that longer necklaces feel a bit too much.

9. Chaîne d'Ancre Punk Long Necklace in SV925

Estimated Price: $2,210 USD

This Chaîne d'Ancre Punk necklace takes the classic Chaîne d'Ancre and gives it a playful, unexpected twist. True to its name, "Punk," it swaps the usual oval links for deliberately asymmetrical, irregular shapes. The result is an edgy, fashion-forward design that gives off a one-of-a-kind presence the moment you put it on.

Made from sterling silver (SV925), it has a smooth, refined shine. Because the Punk-motif links are scattered irregularly along the chain, its look shifts and changes with every movement—part of what makes it so appealing. At about 95 cm, it's a long-style necklace, so it also works well paired with something shorter. If you're after a piece that becomes the centerpiece of your outfit, this is one well worth choosing.

10. Chaîne d'Ancre Farandole Necklace PM in 18K Pink Gold

Estimated Price: $1,390 USD

The Farandole PM takes the Chaîne d'Ancre and refines it even further, with a delicate, elegant feel. Made from 18K pink gold, its soft glow sits beautifully against the skin. The oval link motif is designed to evoke an anchor chain, and wearing even just this one piece lends an air of refined Hermès elegance.

Silver and gold may be the classic choices, but sometimes even the classics can feel like they're missing something. Pink gold delivers that same polished feel while adding a touch of sweetness, making it a lovely option for anyone who wants to lean into a more feminine style.

It blends effortlessly into everyday outfits, making it an easy addition no matter the occasion. If the standard colors leave you wanting something more, or you're looking to add a bit of personality to your look, the pink gold Chaîne d'Ancre is well worth a look.

What Types of Materials Does the Chaîne d'Ancre Come In?

With the Chaîne d'Ancre, the material can shape the overall impression just as much as the design does. Alongside the classic silver, the line also comes in gold and pink gold, so let's take a closer look at how each one differs. Use this as a guide to help you find the Chaîne d'Ancre that best suits your lifestyle and personal taste.

Silver

Shop Hermès Bracelets

Sterling silver (SV925) is, in many ways, the standard material for the Chaîne d'Ancre. Practically the starting point of the line itself, it was the material used in the very first Chaîne d'Ancre bracelet back in 1938, giving it a sense of both tradition and symbolism.

SV925 refers to an alloy composed of 92.5% silver. It has a beautiful sheen along with just enough strength to hold up well in everyday wear. Its look is clean and polished, and the way it blends naturally into any outfit or occasion is a big part of why it's so widely loved.

That said, silver reacts with sulfur compounds in the air and can tarnish over time, so it does call for a bit of regular upkeep. Even so, with periodic care using a proper cloth or cleaner, it's a material that's easy to keep looking its best. If this is your first Chaîne d'Ancre, or you want something versatile enough to wear anywhere, silver is a great place to start.

Diamond

Chaîne d'Ancre pieces set with diamonds appeal to those who want to bring a little extra glamour to the line's otherwise simple design. Diamonds are considered one of the hardest natural minerals on earth, which gives them exceptional durability. They resist surface scratches, which is a big reason they hold onto their sparkle for so long.

A diamond's brilliance also shifts with the angle of the light, adding a subtle sense of movement to the wrist or neckline. Since they catch the light and sparkle with every gesture, they're especially well-suited to formal occasions and special days. Within the Chaîne d'Ancre line, diamonds appear not just in necklaces but in rings and earrings as well. Necklaces and earrings add glamour around the face, while rings show the hands off beautifully.

Diamonds also hold their value reliably as a material, which is why they're prized not only for their beauty as jewelry but also by those drawn to their strong asset value. If you're after genuine and lasting beauty, or you hope to elevate your style with a piece of fine jewelry, the Chaîne d'Ancre's diamond pieces answer exactly that kind of wish.

Gold

Gold is the material that brings out a true sense of occasion in the Chaîne d'Ancre line. Compared to silver, it has a richer, more glamorous feel, so a sense of luxury comes through the moment you put it on. Hermès mainly works with 18-karat (18K) yellow gold and pink gold. Their beautiful color and elegant luster make them the kind of jewelry you can spot as something special at a single glance.

Gold resists oxidation and discoloration, so it's easy to keep its shine over the long run. It's a material you can enjoy watching evolve—the longer you wear it, the more character it takes on. Since it can be re-polished back to a like-new shine, it's also a great choice for anyone hoping to wear a piece for many years. Gold flatters the skin too, brightening up the look of the hands or neckline. Whether layered with other pieces or worn on its own, it holds its own with a beautiful presence either way.

What's the Best Way to Buy a Chaîne d'Ancre?

Because the Chaîne d'Ancre is such a sought-after piece, it can sometimes take a while to track one down. That makes it worth choosing your purchase route based on your own timing and budget.

If you're hoping to get your hands on a Chaîne d'Ancre at a more reasonable price, a specialty pre-owned luxury shop is a great route to consider. The pre-owned market carries plenty of models that are hard to find at full retail price, making them more attainable than buying through an authorized boutique.

These specialty shops also tend to carry near-mint, like-new pieces as well as gently used items in excellent condition—and since new pieces are available too, this route is ideal if you're hoping to buy a Chaîne d'Ancre as affordably as possible.

At Gallery Rare, a long-established pre-owned specialty shop, our staff is deeply knowledgeable about Hermès jewelry. It carefully authenticates each piece one by one, so you can shop with peace of mind. Our official online store lists product condition, sizing, and other details in depth, along with plenty of photos. We'd love for you to find your favorite Chaîne d'Ancre piece with us.

3 Stylish Ways to Wear the Chaîne d'Ancre

Here are three stylish ways to work the Chaîne d'Ancre into your outfits. If you're not quite sure how to style it yet, we hope these ideas give you some inspiration.

1. A Chaîne d'Ancre That Shines Against a Simple Outfit

This look pairs a refined Chaîne d'Ancre necklace and bracelet with a monochrome outfit built around a white jacket and black top. Keeping the palette understated lets the sparkle of the larger jewelry pieces really stand out, giving the whole look an elegant finish. It's precisely because the color scheme is so pared back that the jewelry's presence comes through so clearly, resulting in a refined overall impression.

At the neckline, a longer Chaîne d'Ancre featuring the anchor chain motif draws a vertical line, pulling the eye upward and giving the whole silhouette a nice sense of definition. On the wrist, a bracelet is paired with a voluminous ring on the finger, with the silver's shine serving as just the right accent.

The Chaîne d'Ancre's silver jewelry pairs beautifully with neutral shades like black and gray, lending the whole look a polished, urban feel. It's especially well-suited to grown-up dressers who appreciate a touch of quality even within a simple outfit.

2. Pairing the Chaîne d’Ancre with the Silver Osmose Ring for a Stylish Look

Built around a white shirt, this look combines Hermès’s silver Osmose ring with a Chaîne d'Ancre bracelet for an effortlessly cool feel. Keeping everything in soft, light tones lets the sheen of the silver accessories take center stage, giving the whole look an elegant, fashion-forward edge.

The Osmose ring, which really shines on the finger, is defined by its dimensional curves and open design. Its silhouette is minimal but full of personality, quietly drawing the eye without trying too hard. For the bracelet, a Chaîne d'Ancre with its beautiful anchor chain motif does the work—its smoothly linked oval links catch the light on the wrist and add a feminine touch.

By deliberately skipping a watch or any other pops of color and letting the shine of the ring and bracelet speak for themselves, the whole look stays simple yet polished. It also works well in an office setting—perfect for when you want to look put-together while still letting your own personal style come through.

3. A Sophisticated Look with the Chaîne d'Ancre Punk Necklace and Ring

This polished, grown-up look pairs a greige set-up with a necklace and ring from Hermès's Chaîne d'Ancre Punk series. A sharply tailored jacket paired with a top in a soft, muted tone lets the individuality of the jewelry really shine through.

The Chaîne d'Ancre Punk necklace at the neckline boldly reworks Hermès's traditional anchor motif. Its irregularly shaped links bring a modern edge while still feeling classic, and its just-right length beautifully frames the collarbone, giving the face a cleaner, more streamlined look.

On the finger, a ring from the same Punk series joins in. Its dimensional form catches and reflects light with every movement, instantly adding glamour to the hand. Combining Hermès's signature quality with a playful spirit, the Punk series carries a sense of confidence—simply adding it to a minimal outfit brings a more polished edge to the whole look.
